Only If they'll get to be cheaper than a steam deck. Something like this for 250-300 is ok. Steam deck is still not being sold in most countries around the world, so having this as an option will be good.

Chromebook won't support amd driver's as strong as this 🗿

[@Sakthi1960]

@@Prodbytocile oh

[@NoToeLong]

Something to keep in mind is that LPDDR is only 32bit, while normal DDR is 64bit, so machines with LPDDR only have half the bandwidth of ones with DDR at the same clocks. AMD's chips support dual channel DDR and quad channel LPDDR to compensate, but few laptops go higher than dual.

[@BusAlexey]

Yep, this chip can't go wider than 2x32 bit LPDDR, but it's compensated by having fast 5500 GHz ram. It's equivalent to ~2666 DDR4 Dual-channel, which is pretty normal for a low-end chip.

[@danielalpha8803]

It's quad working as dual-channel...

[@BusAlexey]

@@danielalpha8803 no, mendocino chips don't have that, they are at max 2x32 bit wide

[@ezer0923]

Is 32 bit half of 64 bit? I'm confused

[@BusAlexey]

@@ezer0923 memory speed = memory bus width * memory frequency. Memory bus on ddr4 desktops consists of 2 channels, each 64 bit wide. On ddr5 desktops it's 4 channels, each 32 bit wide. And 32x4 = 64x2, so bus width stays the same. But mendocino zen 2 chips (7320U, 7520U) have 2 channels, each 32 bit wide. 2x32 < 2x64 or 4x32. Means it's at half the bus width of desktop chips. I'd describe it as "permanently running with one stick of ram". Don't think it really hinders performance though, as there's just 2 gpu cores, compared to 12 in the bigger brother (6600U, 6800U) with 4x32 bit wide bus

[@santinojoshuatorre1695]

Ohhhh yeahh... i've been waiting for this since they announced Mendocino and was looking out for videos when I saw this particular model pop up on sale a couple of days ago.

Great video, ETA!

[@zaidlacksalastname4905]

Emulation is where this kind of apu shines. This will boost the low end tremendously, because cheap laptops everyone has will be able to do wii u and yuzu well. For a dedicated gaming handheld though, it'd need to be really well priced (like sub 300). Imagine switch emulation on a switch priced pc.

[@jaymills1111]

I couldn't agree more, though I'd say significantly below £300 (since the steam deck 64gb is only £350 as it is) or whatever that equates to in dollars since the steam deck has the same RDNA 2 GPU except with 4x as many CU's. I was a little disappointed with the amount of CU's to be honest, hopefully there are some chips with at least 4 CU's in future or even the full 8 CU's that the steam deck has. A laptop with a GPU that matches the steam deck's priced at around the same price as the 64gb steam deck would be absolutely incredible. Still really impressed overall though, especially for emulation.

[@zaidlacksalastname4905]

@@jaymills1111 steam deck is sold at a loss, like a console would. You can't beat it. Plus, the 64gb model isn't really the full price since you need like 30-50 more for storage. This isn't designed for gaming, so the cu count isn't a problem. Amd already makes (relatively) cheap gaming laptops with 6600us and 6800us, which feature great performance.

[@fleurdewin7958]

@@jaymills1111 You missed 1 more point. AMD only enabled 64bit memory bus width for the Mendocino APU . The Steam Deck will have twice the memory bandwidth . This chip looks like a heavily cut down APU repurposed from the Steam Deck parts bin.

I'd pay $300 for a really compact handheld with at least a 7" screen with almost no bezels, and could play up to switch and PS2.

[@jherr856]

@@jaymills1111 seems unlikely that they will. Die Steam Deck hast a custom Chip, designed after the Wish of valve. This uses the same GPU they Pack in the IO die from the ryzen 7000desktop CPUs. So they mass Producer IT, If they use onother Chip IT will increases cost to much, so they don t make the margins they want in the Low End. But to bei honest the Hardware ist suefficient enough for 90% of office Users and Zen 2 might Not bei the fastest CPU architecture anymore, but IT IS still very capable and efficent.

[@cedsanzo21]

Great lowcost apu ! For emulator did you use batocera or other linux distrib or just under windows ?

[@pweddy1]

The performance your getting for *2 CUs* is AMAZING! Like to see this compared to some low end Vega iGPUs.

[@FFXfever]

From memory, it seems very similar to athlon 3000's vega 3. That was also 50fps on GTA 5 at 720p. You could've overclocked the Vega 3 though, which lets you run the game at 900p at 60fps.

[@kenzieduckmoo]

this laptop probably wont be that great, but the upcoming handhelds will probably be more correctly specced to take advantage of them. possibly when the 7000 series APUs actually release, and its not just running on the base 2 CUs thats on the normal laptop chip. Would love to see how well it runs on SteamOS though, which is likely a natural fit for something like this, since all the games want to run at 720-800 resolution

[@Covnam]

Looks, great. Looking forward to seeing this in a mini pc. I'd definitely like to see how this handles batocera and steam

[@greenprotag]

I wonder if it's possible to rebalance the vram allocation say maybe 4 gigs to the GPU and 4 gigs to the CPU especially when running Linux

[@IRWPD]

Looking forward t seeing more on RDNA2 APUs chip.

[@uk5993]

Did you have to make any changes in the BIOS to make the cpu run above its 15w TDP?

[@chuuni6924]

I've been looking forward to Mendocino laptops coming out for months now, and I have to say from this video, the GPU seems far more impressive than I thought it would. I'm amazed that it's running GTA at 60 FPS, no matter the settings. I'm really curious though if you were running these benchmarks on battery or on AC power, and how much it drops when running on battery? I know it's going to be more dependent on the laptop than on the chip, but still very curious.

[@ashiro6704]

Am looking to buy either the 7520U or 7530U at the moment. Would you say Zen3 architecture is worth more than Zen2?

[@flink1231]

This looks great! Looking forward to see this in SBCs, SFF PCs and handhelds. This will finally put a price limit on those overpriced arm based systems. At least cpu wise zen 2 will beat with a fair margin anything arm based (except Apple...) and running windows with a gaming front end will be super versatile

[@kirisuma2186]

ok simple question: Will this chip and igpu be strong enough for something like clip studio paint pro? I really need a laptop so I can draw on the go with my graphicstablet, but if it starts stuttering like hell as soon as I have the more then 20 layers, I might need something stronger. (going with the 7520u would probably not change anything seeing as it is basically just a different base and boost clock)

[@Testimony201]

Fire video🔥💯 but Is the ram user upgradeable? The laptop seems cool tho with ok performance💯.

[@awilliamwest]

Looking forward to some higher-end 7000-series APUs next year. 4 to 6 CUs and Zen3 or 4 and AMD may have a great solution for casual gamers who don't want the heat and expense of a discrete GPU. This one just seems a tiny bit underpowered, although it's close (still maybe a steal on some Black Friday specials I saw...) (Irrelevant, but... I'm not very happy with my i5-1135G7 Dell laptop, but mostly because my Intel Xe iGPU seems to have self-destructed; it started having major problems in most applications that had GPU accelration on, eg. MS Edge/Chrome/Chromium/Electron apps, in November (maybe a firmware update corrupted it?); screen flashes corrupted text or goes all black and often requires a power cycle and BIOS reset to get back and try again. Only MS Basic Display Adapter works reliably since corruption. Until the problems, the performance was probably better than most AMD iGPUs, to-date, 'tho RDNA3 may change that.)

I went down a rabbit hole when I saw AMD 3050e rated at 6w and thought "6w Zen cpu, 40wh battery on this $250USD handheld, sounds kinda nice?" but seeing it choke on basically everything and still draw 15~25w, makes me wonder if this other CPU can scale it's self down nicely? I always run my GPD Win2 on lower TDP to get more battery life, most stuff at 3 or 5w for the cpu, netting about 10w from the battery, and only 10~12w from the battery. Kind of weak life with the flaky 37wh battery. Really hoping to see a return to 8~10hr battery life on a smaller form factor handheld someday.

Has anyone tried PCSX2 on a Ryzen 5 7520U? Recently got one for productivity Purposes and Saw this video so I tried it but it lags on Tekken Tag with the Safe and aggressive presets.

Can you compare the 610m to the Raphael igpus as both have 2 cu?

[@NeblogaiLT]

Raphael iGPU has a bit higher clock (2.2Ghz vs 1.9Ghz), and 128bit RAM vs 64-bit on Mendocino. It can also be overclocked to ~3Ghz- but I don't think Mendocino iGPU can.

Only games i care about are pro skater 3 for ps2/mario kart wii U/ and a decent version of street fighter. Like the one he played in emulation. But if I were going to play a regular pc game. It would be state of decay 2! Does anyone know if this chip can handle it?

[@RockOrso2]

Really hoping the handhelds go for 16GB RAM since it really is the sweet spot for performance across the board.

can it use a game capture card?

[@fahmidesu718]

Is there any ryzen 3 with 680M?

Funny how this low powered APU has better Geekbench 5 single-core score from my i7-5960X of my system. Mine gets a bit more than ~900. As for gaming, I am also impressed for what we are getting here from under 30W. I have a dual core 4 threads atom with only slightly less power consumption, from 2015-6 and it's not even close. I wonder what it can handle in video editing. Thanks for the video.
